Deluxe Golden Journal Number 62
Jarama River 1937

You will never find peace with these fascists
you will never find friends such as we
so remember that valley of Jarama
and the people that set that valley free.

All this world is like this valley called Jarama
so green and so bright and so fair
no fascists can dwell in our valley
nor breathe in our new freedom's air.

- Woody Guthrie

Several times a year, when we feel like it, the Golden Journal brings Gold Club members some fun extras for their Avalanche Press games. Our new-model Golden Journal features a “real” booklet, just like a small magazine, and a small set of die-cut, silky-smooth playing pieces.

In February 1937, the Spanish Nationalist División Reforzada de Madrid, an army-sized formation, launched an offensive east of Madrid aimed at cutting off the Spanish capital, then held by the Loyalists, from the provisional capital at Valencia. The Nationalists committed their best troops to the effort: the Moroccan regulares of the Army of Africa, the Spanish Legion, the Irish Brigade, and the German mercenaries of the Condor Legion and their Panzer I tankettes.

Defending the line of the Jarama River were the volunteers of the International Brigades, supported by the T26 tanks of Soviet Gen. Dmitri Pavlov’s V Mechanized Brigade (Spanish crews with Soviet officers).

Fighting raged through all of February. The bloodiest battle of the Spanish Civil War ended in a Nationalist defeat, with the Madrid-Valencia highway still in the hands of freedom’s defenders. For the moment, the fascist tide had been repelled.

Jarama River 1937 is a Deluxe Golden Journal, with 176 pieces (a full-sized sheet) and 20 scenarios. This is a very big deal: the Spanish Civil War finally legitimately comes to Panzer Grenadier. You’ll need 1940: The Fall of France to play the scenarios.
